Neat. In the glass, it is clear and golden with long legs. Aroma is unique and more interesting that I expected. Sweet creamed corn, nutty toasted corn/tortilla/masa, sour mash, some minerals, honey, and butter. Rich mouthfeel. Taste is very smooth and sweet with lighter sugars, such as corn syrup (not a shock), cane sugar, to light honey. The other notable flavor is masa flour, tangy stone fruit ..maybe plum. Finishes sweet and a little tart, fading a bit into a long lasting, but delicate nutty masa. I don't believe that neat is the way to go, but better used over ice or as an interesting sub/addition for some cocktails for a sweet, earthy note Worth keeping for more than the bottle..which is a conversation starter on its own
